We first report from the 7th European Dry Grassland Meeting held 27 May to 1 June 2010 in Smolenice, Slovakia, devoted to the main topic "Succession, restoration and management of dry grasslands". Apart from the scientific programme and the excursions, we also summarise the outcomes of the General Assembly of the EDGG and present the Smolenice Grassland Declaration. Then we take stock of the dynamic development of the European Dry Grassland Group (EDGG), report on its activities during the past year, and announce its future plans. Finally, we give a short introduction to the four articles of this Special Feature, which deal with biodiversity patterns, vegetation classification, and dynamics of dry grassland habitats. One presents a detailed phytosociological study of the xeric and mesic grasslands of the Slovak part of the Biele Karpaty Mts. The second provides a new numeric approach to the assignment of relevés to syntaxa and exemplifies this in a case study for the delimitation of the classes Festuco-Brometea against Trifolio-Geranietea sanguinei in Austria. The third article investigates the septennial impact of mouflon grazing and weather on dry grassland plant communities in dry grassland patches of the Czech Republic. The fourth article deals with long-term abandonment of grasslands in Central Slovakia and shows the importance of vegetation structure, ecological stability, and low-disturbance regime for specific ant assemblages.
Der Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (GIVD) ist eine Metadatenbank von Vegetations - datenbanken weltweit, die im Jahr 2010 von einem internationalen Leitungsgremium ins Leben gerufen wurde und auf einem Server in Greifswald beheimatet ist. Ziel von GIVD ist es, einen besseren Überblick über die zunehmende Zahl von Vegetationsdatenbanken zu geben und ihren Inhalt für übergreifende vegetationsökologische Analysen zu erschließen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag analysieren wir, welche Daten aus Mitteleuropa (incl. Benelux-Länder) in GIVD derzeit registriert sind. Am 20. März 2011 stammten 1,35 Millionen der insgesamt registrierten 2,45 Millionen Vegetationsaufnahmen aus den 12 betrachteten Ländern. Mit über 600.000 digital verfügbaren Vegetationsaufnahmen entsprechend einer Dichte von 18 km–2 sind die Niederlande weltweit führend.
